Is Rihanna just stringing Chris Brown along?

The lovebirds have only recently gone public — PDA and all — with their year-long relationship, but it’s nothing serious — at least for Rihanna.

“No, I’m not in love,” the Grammy winner tells Extra when grilled about her deep affections.

Trying to deflect the attention, the 20-year-old asserts that she loves life because “life is beautiful.”

One thing Rihanna will talk about though is her new disc — Good Girl Gone Bad: Reloaded. The album was hit shelves on Tuesday and features all of her biggest hits from the original release and a whole lot more.

“We called it reloaded because we reloaded with a bunch of cool, new songs, including ‘Take a Bow’ and ‘Disturbia,’ the song by Maroon 5, ‘If I Never See Your Face Again,’ and a bonus dvd with a bunch of performances, backstage footage,” she says. “Cameras followed us around on tour, so they got a bunch of good stuff, fun stuff.”

And get ready for an even bigger release from the Barbados native — Rihanna has plans to launch her own fashion line.

“I love fashion so much,” she says. “I’m a very creative person, so I can see that happening very soon.”

Rihanna wants to record a “feminist anthem” for her next album with fellow chart-toppers Amy Winehouse and Duffy.

She has drawn up a wishlist of musicians and producers she wants to work with when she next hits the studio, with Winehouse, Duffy, and Winehouse-collaborator Mark Ronson right at the top.

She tells the BBC, “I love Mark Ronson. We’ve talked about doing something together on my next album”.

Rihanna adds of a ‘dream team’ with Brits Winehouse and Duffy: “How amazing would that be? We’ve all got three different voices, it would be brilliant. Now that would be a feminist anthem.

“I love Amy. I think she’s great, so unique. I love her album. And I also love what Duffy is doing, she’s brilliant, as well.”
